PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am trapped inside four walls.

The outside world fools me.

I am trapped inside my home,

with no one to comfort me.



I am desperate to venture out on my own.

But the bills frighten me, and I run away.

I am 18 now, acting like a child.

These four walls capture my rage.



I am afraid of what people will think.

High school has ruined my entire life.

The panel walls close in on me now,

shawdowing my light.



Depression becomes my daily routine.

When I wake up, I want to die.

I hate the way the walls close in,

the four walls of my mind.
